A Heartless Woman.

The rumseller's wife parades in
gaudy fineries bought with the money
squandered on rum by selfish men who
feed their own base appetites, fOrgetful
of the wants of poorly clad wives and
furnishing children. Mrs. Martha Bunt-
ing, the unfortunate wife of an inebri-
ate, is compelled to earn bread for her.
self and children by doing odd jobs of
sewing. The wife of a New York rum
seller, in whose store Mrs. Bunting's
husband spent most of his earnings,
was recently applied to for work, and
gave the poor woman a child's sacque
to make, promising to remunerate her
with the sum of $3.50. After a weeks
toll, for the sewing woman is an inva-
lid and cannot work rapidly, the sacque
was finished and brought home. The
pale faced woman meekly awaited her
promised reward, but was astounded
when the rumselIer's wife refused pay
ment. On what ground 7 the reader
asks. The rumseller's heartless wife
cody said, in explanation "YOur
husband owes mine $3.50 for liquors
supplied him, and the making of this
sacque cancels the debt"
All this is literally true. 1t really
seems that those who prosper by the
sale of rum, and the consequent degra-
dation of their customers, are not only
unprincipled, but heartless.

Vermont Ahead of Iowa.

Prairie Farmer in Io1Oa Homestead
We are, as farmers, far wide from
the standard of first class. In July, in
1888, l visited the old homestead in
Vermont. | had been absent over a
score of years, and was told that the
Vermont farms and farmers were dete-
Their crops were small and
what they did raise was at a large ex-
pense of fertilizers. l went prepared
with delight to tell them of the rich
and fertile lands of Iowa. But after a
few days with my brother, travelling
over the large farm of my first days,
and seeing the growing crops, the hill
pastures and many fields, and learn
ing the average of hay, Ii tons; oats,
rs bushels ; wheat (when left they
could not grow it), now 35 and 40
bushels; Indian wheat, 60 bushels !;
potatoes, 300 bushels, and corn go
bushels shelled, was silent about Iowa
i knew we were not "there;" but
do know with the natural fertility of
our soil we ought to, and can, produce
double the quantity to the acre, and
we ought not to be numbered A l far
mers till we get there. Let the ma
nure be driven forth and spread on the
corn fields in winter. Let clover be
the main fertilizer, and we shall soon
get there. Grand crops to be invaria-
bly, utilized on the farm, will grow
like first-class stock. Set the stand
ard high, and reach it at the earliest
day possible.

A few years ago as stranger rose
in one of our city pulpits to begin the
sermon, several of the congregation
began to leave the church. He was a
lame man aud the pulpit was located
near the doors. "Wait a moment, my
friends" said the preacher, "till l get
my hat, and I'll go with you." Down
he came, limping, hat in hand, and
left the church. This abrupt closing
of the services taught the people that
there was at least one minister who
would not be treated with contempt.
On a certain occasion the eloquent DR..
E. III. Chaplin, being sick, was cOmpell-
ed to ask a friend to preach for him.
AS the stranger rose to announce the
opening hymn score of persons rose
to go out. This clergyman also was
equal to such an emergency. GALL"
he said, "whO came here to worship
DR.. Chaplin will please leave now but
those who came to worship God will
please sing the forty third hymn"
That stopped the exodus.

A Wall of Woe.

The following is taken from the
|"Spirit of Missions" and consists of
ia lie tier direct from missionary in In
|dia: "Not far from this village we came
upon the hut of rather famous fakir
or saint. He told US his age was
eighty. He said he had lived for twelve
years in water up to his armpits.
Next he sat for twelve years in the
midst of five fires and last he swung
by ropes over fires for twelve years
thirty six years in all. We asked him
why he did this and received the reply
that he wished to give pain to the body.
He considered this the seat of sin and
not his spirit. The general belief is
that pain inflicted on the body here
will avail in the life to come, the Sc
verer the self-torture inflicted, the
surer and speedier will be the release
from an endless round of future exist
ences in animals, birds, serpents, in
seets, etc. But the little, old shriveled
up man could not tell whether his suf-
fering here would prove of benefit to
him in the world to come or not. In
reply to the question whether he would
find rest of soul after death, he said he
did not know. There was wall of woe
in that Il don't knOwp In christian
lied America we can hardly realize all
the horror of this story. We exclaim
Can it be pOssibler yes it is all true,
faithful picture of a religion without
Christ. Does it not stir our souls to
give to those dark minds the true light
that all this superstition and suffering
may be done away? the Gospel of
Jesus would make those deluded souls
men and women of type the highest
and best.

STOCK QUOTATIONS.

In Denmark dairying is taught as a
trade, boys being apprenticed for that
purpose. They are not only taught
the points and characteristics of stock,
and all the improved modes of making
butter and cheese, but schools are es-
tablished where scientific knowledge
of dairying is also impaired.
In no other one thing is there so
much extravaganza on the farm as in
the care of work horses. The trotter,
the fancy roadster is looked after care
fully, groomed thoroughly, fed prop
erly and regularly; while, too often,
the work horse, which is of much
greater practical value, is neglected.
Sheep in an old weedy pasture or
wood lot will more than pay their
keep in keeping down the noxious
weeds and briars, while nothing equals
them for restoring fertility to worn
out field.
Sheep call for special attention this
month. Dangers and annOyances crowd
them now. Visit the flock every day,
and count it every time you see it. If
one sheep or lamb is missed find it
without loss of time. 1t may be hid
den away in fence corner sick. New
er let sheep and lambs crowd over
bars let down only at one end. They
are apt to get their legs in between,
and by being crowded snap bone in
an instant. If this happens, bind it
with splints firmly and let the sheep
go the bone will unite quickly. Look
out for ticks on the lambs and if any
are found pour buttermilk on the wool,
which will drive them off.
Horses at hard work need special
care both in food and general treat
ment during warm weather. They
cannot do hard work on grass alone,
and should have proper ration of
oats. An occasional washing, in adj
ditiOn to currying and brushing, will
help keep the coat in good order.
Use cotton sheet to keep off flies.
Water frequently, and they will not
drink to excess. Clean and sweet
stables promote the health of the ami
mails. Cows often suffer from excess
sive heat while at pasture. Every past
ure should have shade. If there are no
trees, make shelter a roof set upon
stakes, and matched with brush, will
answer a good purpose. If cow is
sunstruck while in full flow, the
amount of milk is greatly diminished,
if not stopped altogether, and is rare
ly restored.

improved farm at the rate of 100 square
feet at gulp. Figure it ont yourself.
An acre of land contains q, $50 square
feet Estimating land at $43,56 per
acre, you will see that it is just one
mill per square foot, and one cent for
ten square feet. Now, pour down the
fiery dose and imagine you are swal-

five of your friends and have them
help you gulp down a five hundred

and see how long it requires to swal-

UNGRANTED PRAYER.
BIZ SUSAN \. DAY.


For all Thy gifts to me, my gracious Lord,
My heart outpOurs its wonted thanks to-day
But now there comes an unaccustOmed word,
Falling from lips unused such words to say;
More than for all Thy gifts, most rich, most fair,
To-day I thank Thee for ungranted prayer
Ungranted prayer cried to Thee for health,
Then lay on bed of pain for untold hours;
Ungranted prayerl prayed to Thee for wealth
For one 1 loved and still with all his powers
OF thought and viii he fights with sordid care
And yet thank Thee for ungranted prayer
Thou wouidst not give me health but then the pain
Brought enforced silence in my life
When freed from its strong restessness and strain
felt Thy love, forgotten in the strife.
Stiffness of darkened roomi Thou earnest there
Ny Lord thank Thee for ungranted prayerl
Thou hast not given him wealth not the success
Which seems his due. Bitter to see him passed
By men whose courage, strength, are much less
But one learns fast through failure, oh, SO fast
Ali when see him grown so strong to bear,
thank Thee too, for this ungranted prayerl
|Ungranted prayeri With all my beings might
cried to Thee one weary year ago,
To my darling's life through dark, sad night
watched her breathing grow more faint. more
slow
Until it ceased ; oh, wiIdness of despair
IOh, desOlatiOn of unanswered prayer
And yesterday beside her grave stood
The grass the flowers were blackened by the cold
The dreary wind moaned through the leafess wood
The world looked very gray, and tired and old,
thought-my darling knows a kinder air,
And thanked Thee even for that ungranted prayer !
Ungranted prayer The mother draws her child
Back from the poisonous flowers, the gaudy prize
But fills his hands with roses sweet and Wild
With treasures safe his longing satisfies;
$50 should fear to pray, but for Gods care,
Which gives me better gifts than granted prayer.

They Are Appreciated.

Michigan has an agricultural society

"This ticket has probably been paid

ing it. 1t is good for entrance and
grand stand, and the bearer if driving,
will be entitled to pass a team free.
The association recognizes the fact that
its splendid success is owing largely,
if not wholly, to the notices SO freely
given 1t by the press, and while we
cannot return an equivalent in cash,
we return our grateful thanks"
In commenting on the above, an ex-
change justly and pithily says that it
knows of some associations and a great
many individuals who seem to think
the columns of a newspaper ought to
be at their command at all times, with

complimentary ticket as generous

stored in memory against the time
when they desire the publication of
"news" which is nothing more or less
than gratuitous advertising.

Making a Way.
The OongreqatiOnaIist.


AprOpOs of the subject of a college
education for poor mems sons, there is
an incident in the college life of re-
cent graduate of one of our Massachu-
|setts colleges which may be made pub
lie for the lesson which it teaches.
Having worked his way along with
little assistance, he found himself one
day without penny in his purse, and
no means at hand to earn or borrow
any. Taking a huge valise in his
Lhand, he went to one of the village
|stOres and had it filled with various
little articles, useful and ornamental
worth about five cents apiece. He then
|trudged off in the country three or
four miles, and as a result of his visits
ito farm houses along the way, he had
Ia five-dOllar bill in his pocket at the
end of his days work. We repeat
what we have said before, and with
added emphasis. No young man need
halt in the path which leads towards
college because he is poor.
